Although the Bingzhou Army won a complete victory in this battle, after all, they defeated more with less. The strength of the troops was not even one-fifth of the Yellow Turbans, and the manpower was limited. Therefore, Li Xiang also gave up when he saw the opportunity. For Chi You and Li who escaped, The others did not pursue excessively.
In this battle, the Bingzhou Army also suffered a lot of casualties and was nearly exhausted. If the pursuit is too tight, it would be unsightly to have Chi You and the defeated Yellow Turban army fight back.
"Lord, our army has won a great victory in this battle. In one battle, we killed 35,000 enemy troops and captured 40,000 enemy troops. Currently, there are still 25,000 enemy troops fleeing in all directions. In addition, in this battle, our army has killed 35,000 enemy troops and captured 40,000 enemy troops. Killed the enemy generals Li Zicheng, Wu Guang, Wu Chen and many other generals, and captured the enemy general Zhou Cang."
As soon as the war ended, Su Lie came over to report to Li Xiang with excitement on his face.
Moreover, Su Lie did not kill Zhou Cang, but knocked him unconscious and captured him. There are many kinds of friendship between generals. After Su Lie saw Zhou Cang desperately helping Chu Feiyan escape, he was moved by his loyalty and couldn't bear to kill him.
Of course, the reason why Su Lie was merciful was because the overall situation of the war had been decided and the Yellow Turbans were in trouble. Otherwise, with Su Lie's character, he would never abandon public service for personal reasons.
After Li Xiang heard about this result, he was also very happy. But then, Li Xiang asked again, "What are the casualties of our army?"
"In this battle, five thousand of our troops were killed and 3,000 were seriously injured. Only 10,000 troops can guarantee the fighting strength. However, these 10,000 troops are also more or less injured. I'm afraid they will have to find a place later. Time to take a rest.”
Li Xiang also sighed when he heard this. With twenty thousand against one hundred thousand, although he had an unexpected advantage due to the ambush, the gap in strength between the two sides was still too large. If Li Zicheng had not been killed in time, the Bingzhou Army might have been defeated in the end.
Li Xiang felt very lucky that the Bingzhou Army could still retain more than half of its strength in this battle.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing Zhang Er, Pei Yuanshao, Wu Guang, Wu Chen, Guan Cheng, and Li Zicheng. He gained 49 summoning points and currently has 618 remaining summoning points."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for defeating Wanyan Aguda, Wanyan Wu Begging, Chi You, beheading Li Zicheng, and awakening the skill Dragon Map."
Li Xiang was also surprised when he heard that he could actually awaken a skill this time.
Moreover, when Li Xiang heard the name of this skill and the names of those who were defeated before the skill was awakened, he immediately guessed that the effect of this skill would definitely not be weak.
"System, check the effect of the Dragon Picture skill." Li Xiang said happily to the system in his mind with a look of surprise on his face.
"Ding, the dragon picture, the war in troubled times, the dragon and the snake rise together, the country, the country, who else but me.
Effect 1: When the host leads a battle, makes plans, or handles government affairs, the intelligence or political attribute of the corresponding commander is raised to 1 to 4 points.
Effect two: greatly improve the host's attractiveness to talents. When the host goes to recruit talents in person, the host's charm value will be increased by 1 to 6 points.
Effect three, dragon swallowing, whenever the host defeats an emperor, hero, anti-king or prince, a random item in the five dimensions will increase by 1 to 3 points. The degree of increase depends on the quality of the defeated object.
Note that the upper limit of the five dimensions of this effect is 100. When a certain five dimension reaches 100, this attribute will no longer be improved, and several other attributes will be improved instead.
The fourth effect is that the dragon controls the world and the great cause can be determined. When the host's force moves outward or is in an active offensive state, the negative effects suffered by the host's side are halved, and the soldiers' combat power, speed, and morale are greatly increased.
Effect 5: The luck of the host's force is constantly increasing and the luck is condensed; every time the host defeats an enemy, a small amount of its luck can be swallowed up. This skill can be used multiple times.
Note, effects four and five are passive effects and do not need to be triggered specifically. "
Strong, after seeing the effect of this dragon map skill, even though he has seen many skills, Li Xiang has to say strong.
The first and second effects, coupled with the previous Wu Ba skills, can be said to allow one's five dimensions to be strengthened when needed. As long as his fifth dimension improves, Li Xiang will have no obvious weaknesses.
The third effect provides Li Xiang with the ability to quickly increase his five-dimensional attributes. Nowadays, due to the sequential balance of the system, emperors, heroes and princes in troubled times have been born one after another. As long as Li Xiang can defeat them, he can continue to become stronger.
Effect four is obviously a very offensive effect, or Li Xiang's Dragon Picture skill itself is biased towards aggression. This Dragon Picture skill obviously requires Li Xiang to keep attacking, attacking and attacking again.
As for the fifth effect, even Li Xiang himself doesn't have much perception. The theory of luck and destiny has always been illusory. However, it is always good to weaken the enemy and strengthen oneself.
"Send the order to take all the prisoners to Fangfang County first, and the army will rest for three days." After checking his newly awakened skills, Li Xiang couldn't help but say with a smile.
"promise."
The complete victory in this battle also made Li Xiang start to slowly think about what will happen next.
Although there were still 25,000 Yellow Turbans fleeing after this battle. But with such a defeated army, it would be great if Chi You could contain half of them.
"It's a pity that this time the Yellow Turban cavalry were all in the front army, but they escaped." Li Xiang thought secretly in his heart.
Li Xiang's two battles and two victories have already dealt a huge blow to the Yellow Turban forces. It would be absolutely impossible for the Yellow Turbans to divide their forces after that. After all, the other party was not a fool.
After this battle, the number of Yellow Turbans in Jizhou dropped to less than 350,000. With the gathering of various forces, the strength of the Han army still remained at more than 150,000, and there were at least 50,000 cavalry among them.
It seems that the Yellow Turban army is still far superior to the Han army, but in terms of combat power, it is far behind the Han army. Nowadays, the elite Yellow Turbans trained so hard by Zhang Jiao and Chi You have suffered heavy losses in successive battles, and only less than half of them are left.
It can be said that after this battle, the forces of the Han Dynasty and the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou have maintained a relative balance. Even if the Yellow Turbans still have a certain advantage, their strength is limited or even insignificant.
In this case, what needs to be considered is the final battle between the two sides. As long as the Han Dynasty can win the decisive battle, the situation not only on the battlefield in Jizhou but also on the battlefield in the Central Plains will begin to be shaken up.
It can be said that the next decisive battle is a battle related to the fate of both the Yellow Turbans and the Han Dynasty. Although, even if the big man could win this battle, he would only be able to maintain his life for a few more years.
As for the Yellow Turbans, they have no chance. Li Xiang will not allow the Yellow Turbans to win this battle, the Xiang family will not allow it, and the Qin government will not allow it.
Although several of their forces have secretly supported the Yellow Turban for their own benefit.
